West's opening lead was the four of hearts. Deelarer played low from dummy, allowing East to win the first trick with the king. East, instead of returning his partner's! ault, decided to lead to the weak-1 ness in dummy-the club suit- and it was this play which allowed the declarer to make a small slam; in the following manner.

The club trick was won with the nee, the king Immediately cashed, and the nine spot ruled.! The king of spades was played, and then the seven of spades. South won the trick with the jack, and West dropped the jack of clubs,

Four minds of spades were taken, declarer retaining the jack of hearts and the ace and queen of diamonds. On the fourth apado, West was squeezed. He couldn't hold both queen and ten of hearts and king and ten of dia- monds he had to drop one of the ten spots..

If he dropped the ten of hearts, the declarer would win two heart tricks in dummy with ace and nine, discarding his queen of diamonds; while if the ten of diamonds were discorded by West, it would make the declarer's ace and queen of diamonda "good÷~~

Today's Contract Problem

North has the contract at three no tramp. East opens the queen of clubs. Тос сод- tract isn't di@cult to make, but you must be careful to play the right cards.
